REAL STORIES. REAL IMPACT.
WINNING THE BATTLE FOR MEANINGFUL ATTENTION
Porch Light Media is a full-service storybanking and content creation operation built for brands, campaigns, causes, and events.
Our work turns stories into momentum. Whether launching a campaign, rallying fans, shifting public opinion, or uniting communities, we help our partners achieve measurable impact where it matters most.
ELEVATING STORIES
DRIVING ACTION
We get results others can’t by transforming real stories into powerful tools of persuasion for the new attention economy.
When everyday people share authentic experiences, they become trusted messengers who spark connection, shift perspectives, and catalyze change.
MEET OUR TEAM
We are storytellers first — and also award-winning producers, directors, and strategists.
Founded by Amy Romanow, Ashley Bearden, and Miriam Arkin, the team brings decades of cross-industry experience at the highest levels. We led content for Obama, Biden, and Harris, building the first nationwide “real people and stories” operation in political history and producing the highest-performing content of the last three election cycles.
Our work includes shaping Emmy-winning series and producing feature and documentary films for HBO, CNN, Amazon, Netflix, and Vox Media. We've created impact-driven campaigns and sponsored content for Nike, Google, SeatGeek, L’Oréal, H&M, MGM, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
MIRIAM ARKIN
Miriam is a producer with over a decade of experience at the intersection of documentary and feature films, commercial storytelling, and political campaigns. She is hopelessly devoted to women’s sports, an enthusiastic cook, and fluent in three languages. She’s got an eye for the unusual and a very healthy appetite for logistics.
ASHLEY BEARDEN
Ashley is a producer, director, and chaos coordinator with 20 years experience in scripted film, tv and documentary projects. She somehow turned her obsessions with travel, food, and (often) politics into a job that lets her chase stories around the world. She lives in France with her dog Margaux, who runs the show.
AMY ROMANOW
Amy is a nationally recognized leader in creative storytelling. She’s passionate about applying lessons from politics to traditional brands & marketing, and vice versa. She lives in Brooklyn, is a true connoisseur of reality TV and snacks, and is currently a reigning Fantasy Football champ.
